Description
Umprotech 60in 12ga Box & Pan Brake – Segmented Finger Brake
Heavy-duty 60 inch box and pan brake with segmented fingers for precise sheet metal forming. Designed for US job shops, HVAC, and fabrication cells handling up to 12 gauge mild steel.
Working length: 60 in · Capacity: 12 gauge mild steel · Finger set: 1–4 in segments
Key advantages for US buyers
- 60 inch working length supports common ductwork, panels, and box fabrication jobs.
- 12 gauge mild steel capacity enables forming of heavier materials for industrial enclosures and structural parts.
- Segmented finger set (1–4 in mix) allows for precise box, pan, and channel forming with tight corners and flanges.
- Adjustable apron and angle stop for repeatable bends and consistent results across production runs.
- Counterbalance springs reduce operator fatigue and enable smooth, controlled bending cycles.
- Back-gauge ready design streamlines setup for repeat parts and increases throughput.
Key technical specifications
Working length: 60 in
Accommodates panels, duct sections, and boxes up to 5 feet wide.
Material capacity: 12 gauge mild steel
Handles standard sheet metal thicknesses for HVAC, enclosures, and fabrication. (Capacity is reduced for stainless steel.)
Segmented finger set: 1–4 in mix
Configure for custom box depths and flange widths with removable fingers.
Adjustable apron & angle stop:
Set precise bend angles and repeat jobs efficiently.
Counterbalance springs:
Assist with smooth operation and reduce manual lifting effort.
Back-gauge ready:
Prepared for easy integration of back-gauges to speed up repetitive forming tasks.
Capabilities & typical applications
This 60 inch segmented finger brake is a versatile forming solution for standalone sheet metal cells or as a complement to laser, plasma, or shear operations. Well-suited for high-mix, low-volume runs as well as repeat production of common parts.
- Forming boxes, pans, trays, and enclosures with variable flange depths
- HVAC ductwork, electrical cabinets, and control panels
- Prototype and custom fabrication for job shops and OEMs
- Structural brackets, channels, and frames in 12 gauge mild steel
- Integration into forming cells with saws, lasers, and welding stations
Implementation & support for US shops
Our team works closely with US job shops, HVAC contractors, and OEMs to ensure a smooth installation and fast ramp-up. We review your parts, materials, and thicknesses to confirm fit and recommend the best clamping and finger configurations for your work.
We provide guidance on setup, tooling changes, and bend sequences, and can coordinate on-site or remote training for your operators.
- Pre-installation review of power, floor space, and material flow
- Assistance with basic programs and bend setups
- Support for integrating with existing forming, cutting, or welding lines
Next step: send us your sample parts or drawings, and we’ll confirm capacity, configuration, and workflow fit.
